Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians But Were Afraid to Ask by Anton Treuer

Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.

I wanted to know what he thought of Indians from India. He said he traveled the world giving lectures, but then didn't even acknowledge that the name was shared with over a billion people.  He also talked about the importance of family, but never gave credit to the mother of his children. He talked about the importance of attending funerals, but never acknowledged the work that took. He seemed oblivious to the fact that he was expecting young people of his tribe to succeed at both the ancestral goals and the goals of other Americans. Both sets of expectations are hard on their own; expecting someone to strive for both is setting them up for failure, even with the best support system.
